delicious little cook

Chapter 1079
The two entered the pavilion and sat down. Hemerocallis poured two cups of tea herself, and when handing the cups to Bai Kou, she pinched her face and smiled like a flower.

"Everyone is very happy to have you join the club today. We were prepared for your refusal."

"What will happen if I don't agree?"

"It's nothing. One of our principles is not to force. Every sister in the club has their own difficulties. We encourage everyone to speak out about their own pain, but it is not mandatory. You are an unmarried girl. It’s human nature not to want to get too close to widows like us and feel unlucky, if you don’t want to, then you just don’t want to, as long as you keep it a secret afterwards, it’s fine.”

Xuan Hua picked up her teacup, tilted her body, and leaned comfortably against the pillar behind her.

"But you didn't hesitate at all, and with your cleverness, you must have seen through Mai Mai's tricks, but you accepted them all. Such a smart and intelligent sister is hard to find, and all the sisters will love you very much."

"It's also good for me to know so many sisters. I don't have any friends in the ladies' circle yet. The girls in the Pomegranate Club are all new wives. It will take many years for them to grow into noble ladies." Bai Kou laughed so hard. Out of sight.

"However, widows are marginal members of the family. They live in seclusion and are unknown to outsiders. Knowing too many widows is not as beneficial as your sisters in the Pomegranate Society."

"Of course widows of the grievance type are useless, but what this secret garden saves is widows who are capable and take action to save themselves. I know how difficult it is to contend with a powerful family on my own. Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. , are all the same kind of people, what do I have to dislike? Life is impermanent, who knows if I will be a widow in the future, multiple retreats are always good."

"Okay, you just treat us as a way out and manage well, we are very optimistic about you."

"Business?" Bai Kou wrinkled her nose and pouted slightly, "I knew you didn't drag me in to play."

"Of course! You are the most valuable little girl, I brought you in to protect the sisters! Only after making the sisters happy will I bring you to play!"

Hemerocallis sat up straight again, put down the teacup and approached Bai Kou, holding her hands tightly with a serious expression.

"Our secret garden is a widow's society, so no matter how we unite to embarrass the men, the men will not be able to hit us hard, otherwise the people will laugh at us and say that a group of aristocratic families actually bully the widows. The men want face and are afraid of things. There are many concerns about making a big face and losing face. This is also our means of checking and balancing them. After years of operation, the two sides are now barely maintaining a balanced situation. You can see that the sisters here are all dressed up and come out to play. You know what is at home Status. But after all, we still have a weak side. If we are not careful, we may be retaliated by the family at any time, robbed of property and thrown into the family temple, or simply exchanged our lives for the chastity archway for the family. You are unmarried, and you should be full of beautiful imaginations about marriage at an age , I didn’t intend to scare you to make you feel afraid of marriage and family, but I just think that you have experienced special experiences since you were a child, and you must understand these hardships.”

"I understand, hating women for not dying, and fearing that women won't be cows and horses, it's fine for men to think so. What's even more hateful is that there are so many women who work for tigers. Men just order and stay clean, and those women are free to do these dirty things. Why do women make things difficult for women? This is also my consistent attitude, but I didn’t expect someone to walk in front of me. A group of rich and powerful widows united to make themselves happy. My sisters wrote to me I was really taken aback when I did.”

"Scared? You think you are the only one in this world who thinks like this, but you don't know that there are a group of people who think the same as you. The pomegranate club is full of unmarried girls, and the secret garden is the widow club. You have both. In the future, we must lead the sisters to live a good life."

"What can I do? It's just a little business."

"Don't be stupid, you have an advantage that none of us have. You can speak directly to the palace, which is what we care most about. We all know that you saved Tong Mingli, not like what you did in front of your father, queen and queen. In other words, the direction of things may really fulfill the wish of the Liang family, give Tong Mingli an adoptive heir, keep the chastity for the rest of his life, be a good big girl, and his life will be ruined in the hands of scum."

"This is a matter of good luck. First of all, Liang Zhongshan was at fault. His excessive indulgence made the world side with sympathy for Tong Mingli. The saint doesn't want to go against the public opinion, and at the same time, he has to worry about the noble family headed by the Liang family. I just expressed my opinion from another angle, but I didn't expect to give him the old man's reason to push the boat. The matter could have ended at this point, but Princess Yu did something stupid again, poisoning and murdering Tong Mingli. If she succeeds, then The reason for Tong Mingli's voluntary death for love is that the Liang family must have an extra chastity archway."

"That's right, this kind of noble and famous family likes to exchange the lives of the women in the clan for chastity archways. Whoever has the most archways will be the most honorable. Do you know how many archways the Liang family has?"

"do not know."

"11 dollars."

"so much?"

"Except for four pieces that were erected by the previous dynasty, the other seven pieces were erected in the past hundred or so years since the founding of this dynasty."

"Isn't that an average of more than ten years?!"

"That's right, isn't it amazing? In the past 20 years since Father came to the throne, Tong Mingli almost became the third one. You ruined the plan of the Liang family and made Liang Zhongshan the last one. Princess Yu decided to take Tong Mingli down. Poison, be careful, don't be careless towards the people in Prince Yu's Mansion, there is no guarantee that they will put this account on your head. Although they are a little depressed now, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, you A civilian woman is always at a disadvantage compared with them, especially now that I heard that the two county heads of their family came out to support the family. Once you recover, or simply because you have a business conflict with them, you say they Will the old and new grudges be counted together?"

"Well, I will be careful not to be careless."

"Prince Yu is my eldest brother, but I really don't like their family's behavior. They rely on their father's favor and lawlessness. Compared with him, I am a willful little widow. I can't do anything like him. A toe. I know they have the idea of ​​seizing the heir. This is almost an open secret. The prince and brother have been suppressed everywhere. It can be seen that the mighty Concubine Zhao Xian is now reduced to Concubine Zhao, and Prince Yu is demoted to King Yujun , they deserve today.”

"They're down and a lot of people are relieved?"

"Of course, there are too many people attached to them, and this incident involves a lot of people. The elders in the court have also restrained themselves a lot, and we sisters have seized the opportunity to grow and grow." Hemerocallis winked at Bai Kou, " To put it bluntly, it is called attacking dissidents and revenge."

"Understood, anyway, I already have the means to make a living, instead of relying on the family to make a living, let others die, maybe I can avoid being implicated because of the meritorious service of the report."

"I know you're a smart kid."

Hemerocallis looked at Bai Kou, and liked her more and more, couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch her face again, this time Bai Kou wouldn't let her succeed, blocking left and right, the two of them simply chased and fought in the pavilion.
